West, 48, and Guy Beser of Blue Stone Productions are collaborating on the plans for the show, which was 'being produced by Live Nation Israel,' according to Rolling Stone, but reps for the parent company pushed back on the assertion.
'Live Nation is not producing the Ye show in Georgia; the show is being produced by Blue Stone Productions,' a spokesperson for the parent company Live Nation told the Daily Mail.
A source close to Live Nation told the Daily Mail that 'Blue Stone Productions is an independent company' that it has a working relationship with.
The parent company has no involvement with the summer show headlined by the Grammy-winning rapper, the source said.
'Blue Stone Productions and Guy Beser do partner with Live Nation; however, Blue Stone Productions is independently producing this show without the support of Live Nation,' the insider said.

An Israeli music industry professional told Rolling Stone they found Beser's willingness to work with West 'disgusting' when examining the rapper's yearslong history of antisemitism.

The collaboration marks another ostensible step forward for West in re-establishing himself as a professional with the Jewish community. The Through the Wire rapper was pictured in April in Beverly Hills, California visiting the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
The concert is linked to a governmental campaign called Starring Georgia , which aims 'to bring to Georgia the most in-demand contemporary artists … who have never performed in our country before'

West remained in the crosshairs of controversy last year, when the shop on his Yeezy Website was taken offline by Shopify after he was selling a white shirt with a black swastika in the center.
He had advertised his site with an expensive ad broadcast in various markets during the Super Bowl, including Los Angeles.
The Anti-Defamation League said in a post on X/Twitter February 10, 2025: 'As if we needed further proof of Kanye's antisemitism, he chose to put a single item for sale on his website – a t-shirt emblazoned with a swastika.
'If that wasn't enough, the t-shirt is labeled on Kanye's website as "HH-01,"which is code for "Heil Hitler."'
Said the ADL: 'Kanye was tweeting vile antisemitism nonstop since last week. There's no excuse for this kind of behavior.'

The organization added, 'Even worse, Kanye advertised his website during the Super Bowl, amplifying it beyond his already massive social media audience.'
